The Board of Selectmen consists of five members - each elected for a three-year term. They serve without compensation. The Selectmen act as the primary policy-making body of the Town. They provide oversight for matters in litigation, act as the licensing authority for a wide variety of licenses, and enact rules and regulations for such matters as traffic control. Further, the Board serves, along with the Town Treasurer, as Trustees of Town Trusts. Staff in the Selectmen’s Office accept articles for Town Meeting, prepare Town Meeting Warrants and produce the Town’s Annual Report. Staff also serve as liaison between the public and the Board, handle all phone calls, visitors and correspondence directed to the Office and maintain all records of Board of Selectmen’s meetings. They also maintain the database of all Boards and Committees appointments and resignations.

Sudbury’s No Place for Hate Committee invites you to the first in a series of educational forums designed to bring the issues of diversity and tolerance to the forefront of community discussion.

For our first forum, we are privileged to bring Holocaust survivor and noted speaker Stephan Ross to Sudbury to discuss the painful impact of bigotry and hatred on society and to expand our discussion of respect for human differences.

Mr. Ross came to the United States under the auspices of the U.S. Committee for Orphaned Children in 1948 after being freed form the Dachau prison camp. He is the founder of the New England Holocaust Memorial in Boston and a thoughtful and moving speaker on the subject of intolerance.

We invite the community — adults and youth alike — to attend what we expect will be a powerful and worthwhile evening for all.
